CW negativity:

I still don't see the appeal of country flags (unless specifically to support) and the usual gaming/IT symbols. Also, as much as I dutifully like the Maus, Ente and Elefant, they are big as fuck. This thing used to be chaotic anarchy out of which art (ugly and beautiful alike) grew organically, it's now very much German efficiency.

But I can't participate this year anyway beyond maybe a few pixels here and there, so I'm not too bothered.

    At least the German flag contains the title of a controversially discussed antifascistic song by Danger Dan, Keine Angst. This is 100% support towards democratic tendencies and antifascists.

    For context: Danger Dan is a Zionist and his idea of antifascism in the song is "let's dox Nazis so no one will want to have anything to do with them" which (1.) only works if Nazis are a frowned upon minority and not one of the biggest parties and (2.) focuses only on the AfD and not to the right shift that happens in all parliamentarian parties.

    I'm not saying that it isn't shocking that the ÖRR (publicly funded TV/radio/...) shies away from showing it. It's even more shocking considering that the song isn't so far off from the national narrative. But the song isn't that great and doesn't deserve all the attention.
